Direct American import
Low hail from Minnesota, this is their fifth album, which like their last was recorded with Steve Albini, allowing them to capitalise on his all natural audiophile expertise, resulting in a very crisp and sharp production, every musical brush stroke and vocal nuance is picked up in the recording.
'Things We Lost In The Fire' has songs that are lush (In Metal) and songs that are naked (Whitetail) and adds a layer of fuzz and distortion (Dinosaur Act). Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker's voices remain at the centre of Low's music, Zak Sally's bass anchors the whole with carefully placed pauses making every second count.
